An article of University World News on 5 May 2020 about the emergency loans for students whose source of income is threatened by the coronavirus pandemic offered by Federal Education Minister Karliczek refers to the evaluation of Dr. Kambiz Ghawami, head of World University Service Germany. Dr. Ghawami criticises the inadequate support of the German federal government in this emergancy situation: "Now that Germany’s federal government here has totally failed, we need the support of the ministries at state level to boost the various state emergency funds to assist international students facing hardship through no fault of their own".
